Hey, folks, Aaron here. Welcome back to another edition of Deeper Lore, a bonus episode that's designed to serve as a topical guide to the most recent episode of Lore. It can be a lot of work sorting through our show's archive of over 11 years of episodes. So I'm here to point out some old episodes that fit nicely with this week's brand new one. So let's get started, shall we? This week for episode 316, A Spoonful of Sugar, we stop in for a baker's dozen of killer confections. But this sample of deadly candy isn't the first time that we've explored the dangers that await us in the foods we eat. So here are 3 older episodes that should pair up nicely with this week's brand new one. First up, episode 118, Ambition. The French were very, very good for a very long time at the art of poison. And that's left us with some amazing stories, so do check this one out. Next, download episode 166, Toxic. This episode continues our education in the various folks who used poison as a tool, not just a weapon. And it's also a fascinating journey, and it's one that I think you'll love. And finally, there's episode 212, Unforeseen. When most people think of poison, they think of arsenic. So this episode is all about that deadly substance and the surprising folklore that has sprung up around it. And there you go. Follow up this week's brand new episode with a trip into the past. Episodes 118, 166, and 212 are waiting for you in this podcast feed. You can just scroll through the app to find them, or you can tap on their direct links in the description for this episode. And until next time, stay spooky.
